Other Experimental
BP: Can be sublimed at 0.3 mm Hg and 110 °C without decomposition ... forms salts with acids and bases ... Deteriorates under the influence of air and light ... Commercial product usually pink ... MP of commercial product 186 °C;Heat of formation = -190.6 kJ/mol;4-Aminophenol crystals exist in two forms. The alpha form (from alcohol, water, or ethyl acetate) is the more stable and has an orthorhombic pyramidal structure, density 1.290 g/cu cm /alpha-4-Aminophenol/;4-Aminophenol crystals exist in two forms. The less stable beta form (from acetone) exists as acicular crystals that turn into the alpha form on standing; they are orthorhombic bipyramidal or pyramidal /beta-4-Aminophenol/;Crystalline powder; gradually becomes darker. Decomposes about 306 °C. Very soluble in water; soluble in alcohol /p-Aminophenol hydrochloride/;Henry's Law constant = 3.6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C (est);Hydroxyl radical reaction rate constant = 7.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C (est)
